Ryan Reynolds’ son Olin is definitely, maybe a fan of one of his parents’ most panned films.
The Deadpool actor revealed that his and wife Blake Lively’s 2-year-old can’t get enough of the couple’s 2011 movie Green Lantern, which notoriously underperformed at the box office.
“You laugh, but my son, it’s his favorite movie and he watches it every f–king day,” Ryan said during a recent appearance at The Wall Street Journal‘s CMO Council Summit. “Do you understand the work I’ve had to do to get to the place where I can just pass by that screen and not go, ‘Well, we could have [done that differently]?’”
Despite the potential to cringe at his past work, the Proposal actor—also dad to daughters James, 10, Inez, 9, and Betty, 6, with Blake—sees the DC Comics movie as an opportunity to reflect on how he has grown professionally. As he noted, “That was a time in my life when I was, ‘Yes, sir. No, sir. How high can I jump, sir?’”
Plus, Ryan relishes the chance to teach his kids about life through what he calls his “failures.”
